Today is the seventh day of Lunar New Year, also known as Renri (人日). According to Chinese customs, Renri was the day human beings were created. It is celebrated not only in China, but also in the surrounding region influenced by Chinese culture. In Chinese mythology, Nüwa (女娲) was the goddess who created the world. She created the animals on different days and human beings on the seventh day after the creation of the world. On this day, Singaporeans and Malaysians often crowded around the table to toss Yu Sheng (鱼生) or Prosperity Toss. This is a raw fish salad brought to Singapore with the migration of Cantonese and Teochew people from China in the 19th century.
Our Yu Sheng was bought from Sushi Express (爭鮮) and came with a set of red packets or Hong Bao (红包) along with a card with simple instructions on how to do the prosperity toss (捞鱼生). The Good Luck Yu Sheng Set (S$39.80) came with assorted vegetables in their natural or dyed colours, eight pieces of raw salmon and other condiments. As you poured in various ingredients and sauce, you say the auspicious phrases indicated on the accompanied card and then everyone get ready to toss the ingredients as high as possible and at the same time shouting “Huat Ah” without spilling onto the table. The taste of the salad came from the sweet plum sauce, lime juice, golden crackers, pepper and five-spice powder and it is quite pleasant to the palate. Anyway, after eating the yu sheng, we hope everyone had a prosperous and abundant year ahead.
